cf posted:Did you mail it with the record inside? No, just the sleeve. I put it in a self addressed stamped bubble mailer with two sheets of cardboard inside and a short letter, it was about 12oz and took 9 stamps. Then I wrapped that up in a big cut up sheet of cardboard like this:  I also contacted his production company first (Storm King Productions) to make sure he would sign and to ask what his fee was. They said to just send it on in with a return envelope and he'd sign it for free.

I dare you to find a better cost/quality ratio than a Herb Alpert album. Edit --> Huh, I wonder where this avatar came from,

CPL593H posted:I've never actually heard the record, but if it's sold so many copies that you will always see it where there are records then Herb Alpert was probably some hot poo poo back then. Hot poo poo is an understatement, I'm pretty sure he outsold The Beatles a few times.

Can't you just mount the cart at an angle to fix that? I have an old Pioneer TT with a straight arm but the headshell is at an angle and it sounds pretty good.

Only the clear version is selling for that much. It's limited to 5000, which isn't that much considering world wide popularity. No B&N within 200 miles of me had a copy when I checked this morning.

CPL593H posted:The stuff from Newbury Comics are just colored vinyl of regular reissues of poo poo that can be found easily. It's good if you're into that sort of thing, but they often cost more than the regular black vinyl counterparts by at least five bucks. Yep, this is 100% true, but I like the colors they get for stuff.

Has anyone bought the 3D printed RCM from this guy up in Canada? http://www.squeakycleanvinyl.com/home.html I'm considering buying one sometime later this year. I already have a shop vac so it would only be $35 more than buying a Spin Clean.

I was at a Salvation Army thrift store a couple weeks ago that only had one speaker hooked up to their receiver and they were playing Beatles stereo mixes through it. It was pretty surreal.

I can't tell from YouTube on my phone but it looks like there's a weight on the back of the tonearm. Is there a weight stamped on it? 2g or 2.5g probably. I'd check your anti-skate setting before using a penny.

King Vidiot posted:You'd think it's a weight but no, it's just a piece of plastic on the back that looks like a weight. There are little metal pieces that I hosed around with that you can screw/unscrew but they seem to just be actual screws holding the back of the tonearm in place, one of them is attached to a spring. Also while loving with them I think I've ruined the turntable's automatic mechanism, it's supposed to move the arm to the correct size of your record but now it just goes all the way to the right before making a loud popping sound and then returning to the cradle. Also records are skipping now and they've never skipped with that player. Time to sell for parts or use it to make a record cleaning machine.
